The recent archaeological research carried out in Alta Marmilla and which are part of a broader research project aimed at investigating the dynamics of human settlement during the Middle Bronze Age and the Recent Bronze Age, will be at the center of the third appointment at the Giovanni Lilliu Center by Barumini.
The meeting with the archaeologist Riccardo Locci, scheduled for Friday 17 February, from 5.15 pm, entitled: "Archaeological research in Alta Marmilla: recent investigations and prospects for research", marks the third stage of the cycle of conferences organized by the Barumini Foundation Sistema Cultura, in collaboration with the Municipality, as part of its staff training process.The meeting is in any case open to the participation of all to continue to face moments of discussion on the importance of protection, as well as conservation and promotion, of beauties of Sardinian history.
The conference will allow for an in-depth analysis of recent data from site inspections and checks on the ground, reports, fortuitous discoveries and stratigraphic investigations with a focus on the aspects of continuity and innovation found in the settlement choices and construction techniques of the Bronze Age.
In his speech, Locci will also trace an analysis of the characteristics of archaic nuraghes such as the Corongiu Arrubiu, in the countryside of Masullas and the Cuccuru Spignau, in the territory of Marrubiu and Morgongiori. The latter, in particular, will be the object of an upcoming excavation, and is part of a complex archaeological area characterized by a long human presence.
Also during the evening, attention will then move to the Santu Miali di Pompu nuraghe, its architectural peculiarities, the preliminary results of the latest excavation campaign and the prospects for research.
The series of appointments of the Barumini Sistema Cultura Foundation will then continue next Friday 24 February (from 5.15 pm), with the evening dedicated to "New research on Nuragic archeology in Marmilla", with insights curated by Gianfranca Salis.
